. tffy'inventionrelates to dies forma'king ii'iacaroni, spaghetti o 'noodles. i The dies now inusehave the upper ends of the dough discharge openings connte'r- V sunkqtoreduce the thickness of metal in which the openings are formed, and todessen the 'esistance to the dough as it passes through theopenings, i I

The objection to these dies. is that the counter-sunk upper end of 'e'ac h opening flares outwardly and occupies afl'arge part of the upper face of the die. "This limits the number of dou gh discliarging openings thafl'may be used, far below the nuinberthat could be used withoutthe counter-sunk part.

Doug-11:; discharging openings without a counter sunlrpart are diflicultfto make and in some cases impossiblebecause the iinetal through which the openingsinust be cut is too thick. This thickness is necessary to give (the die the proper strength; 'The counter-sunk part reducesj'ithethickness of are of largesize'and sinall capacity and require more power tojforce thejdough through the openings than smaller dieshaving the same number of openings.

The dough quires less power to force r they openings because oi the large number as a die for making noodles.
